Hearing this read by that entitled ignoramus really made it sound bad because of his overall vulgarity. Then his bragging about the "magnificent" fighter jets. The whole thing sounded horrible.

"North Korean women are forced to abort babies that are considered ethnically inferior. And if these babies are born, the newborns are murdered. One woman's baby born to a Chinese father was taken away in a bucket. The guard said it did not deserve to live because it was impure. So why would China feel an obligation to help North Korea?"

He does this on every trip. His aids prepare remarks for him and he is totally surprised when reads them off the TelePrompTer. He can't contain his pride at learning something new, like a child learning to read.

"I'll bet most of you didn't know that," means he just learned it.

What an imbecile.

He was like...explaining the concepts of Islam to Muslims on his M.E. trip - before he got the all-male dance party and the laying of hands on the orb.
